I was really excited to read what sounded like a book made for me, unfortunately it went down hill from page one.. As many have mentioned, the author's tone is unbearable. Calling us readers darling repeatedly and saying things like "how was it?" after you finish chapter one was distracting and annoying. I felt like I was listening to a meditation or other self-guided app when that's not what I was prepared for. A lot of the narrative voice grated and came across as so patronizing that I couldn't focus on what was being said..

The premise of this book is a great one, and as a non-binary individual I would love to see another take on this idea. unfortunately, this effort just fell flat.
